- This paper resulted from a UK Home Office project as part of the CBRN work programme. It describes the world first parallel implementation of a rule based evacuation model. This development extends the usage of evacuation models into the realm of real time applications. It also enables the modelling of very large evacuations to higher fidelities than was previously possible. The innovation enabled FSEG to participate in a US Government sponsored project, Pentagon Shield, and formed part of a real-time evacuation advice system for the Pentagon in Washington D.C (mferreira@jensenhughes.com). This work also contributed to a PhD for Yasmina Cavanagh.
